>>40470928After an unveventful Elite four run (only exciting moment was Javelin surviving a surprise Earthquake from Flint's Infernape and killing it with a crit Strength), Cynthia beat my underprepared ass.
>SpiritombMaul manages to dispatch of Spiritomb with Earthquake,getting battered in the process.
>MiloticHalberd tags in, I heal up Maul and she resists every attack from the serpent. Halberd takes it down with a few lucky defense drops from Crunch, again getting down to the red.
>RoseradeRapier comes in and takes the Extrasensory (not used to the AI making predictions like this), getting down to the red. Chakram instead comes in and takes down Roserade with 2 Psychics.
>GastrodonChakram stays in and 2-shots Gastrodon with Magical Leaf, despite getting poisoned which effectively puts her out of action.
>GarchompOh boy. I accidentally switched in to Javelin, who takes a Dragon Rush to the face and falls. I then sent out Halberd, stupidly thinking I could outspeed but Halberd goes down. Maul then comes in and eats a Giga Impact, in turn destroying Garchomp with Ice Fang.
>LucarioEasy money. One Earthquake does the job.
Sucks that I ended up losing Halberd and Javelin by failures on my part, but a win is a win. Maul is the definite MVP of this run, he just refused to die and hit back with one hell of a punch.
Not much to say about my Platinum run so far, except for how happy I am that Betelgeuse evolved into the right type of cocoon for me to use.
